Chapter 12: The Tongue and the Fire
A cloud of red light appeared on Tyranny's fist, and then the red light began to spread rapidly, deforming in the process, eventually turning into a translucent snake head.
The snake's head slammed directly into the back of the hoofed beast's head.
With a muffled grunt, the hoof beast fell straight out, pulling a scratch on the ground that was more than ten feet long.
It turns out that Tyrant Zhen is a high-level totem warrior.
After watching him defeat the hoof, Fengyun finally determined his rank.
If a person participates in the awakening ritual successfully, the totemic power in the body will be awakened.
After a period of time, the power of the totem will slowly increase.
As it grows, it begins to gather towards the chest.
When it reaches a certain level, it manifests and becomes a snake head that can be seen with the naked eye.
At this point, it means that he has become an official totem warrior, that is, a junior totem warrior, and Fengyun belongs to this stage.
Therefore, the head of the snake has also become the symbol of the junior totem warrior.
If you can still make a breakthrough and be promoted to an intermediate totem warrior, the snake's body will grow little by little.
However, in order for the snake's tail to manifest as well, you must become a high-level totem warrior.
The logo of the high-level totem warrior is the complete totem.
The full totem will give the owner an ability - Release, which will release the power of the totem and directly attack the enemy, just like Tyrant just did.
Seeing that Storm had successfully knocked out the hoofed beast, Ray reached out and picked up the bone knife, split the vines and branches, and walked over.
Fengyun and Bei also followed.
When he got closer, Fengyun found that the size of the hoof beast was really not small, and it was conservatively estimated that it exceeded two thousand catties.
Storm stretched out his hand and patted the belly of the hoofed beast, revealing a satisfied smile: "It's really strong." ”
He turned his head, looked at Fengyun, his eyes flashed with a trace of regret, and said, "I originally wanted you to have a good experience, but now it seems that it can't be done." Next time. ”
"Ray, carry it up, let's go back. ”
"Yes. ”
Lei stepped forward, grabbed the front legs of the hoof beast with one hand, grabbed its hind legs with the other, and with a force of both arms, lifted it high above his head, and carried it horizontally on his shoulders, very relaxed, without the slightest look of difficulty.
Storm picked up the bone knife and opened the way in front.
Storm chose to return the same way, but the size of the flowerhoe beast was too large, and the original path seemed narrow, and it needed to be widened.
On the way, he did not encounter the situation that Fengyun feared most, and met the fierce brute beast in a narrow way.
I have seen a few brute beasts from afar, but I don't know if it is because of the release of the aura of the violent general, which has a deterrent effect.
They only glanced at them a few times, then turned around and walked away.
After walking for about three hours, the storm that had opened the road in front of him suddenly deviated from the direction.
Fengyun originally thought that he sensed some danger ahead and chose to take a detour.
But half an hour later, he realized that he had guessed wrong.
The group of four came to a towering stone wall.
There was a crack in the stone wall, two or three feet wide, but it had been blocked by a boulder.
The boulders are all very large, and the smallest ones are taller than the people of Fengyun.
Storm walked over directly, moved the boulders one by one, and put them aside, as if they were not real stones, but empty cardboard boxes.
"Uncle Tyrant, what kind of place is this?"
Walking into the crack, Fengyun couldn't help but ask.
"It's a place for the tribe to stay. If you don't have time to go back from hunting, you can rest here. If there is too much prey, you can also leave it here temporarily. ”
"Are we going to stay here tonight?"
"It's not. There is food stored here, eat a little and go back. There are also some medicinal herbs in it that Wu Wu needs, by the way, help him bring them back. ”
The crack is very deep, dozens of feet long.
Out of the crack, Fengyun's vision suddenly opened up.
At the end of the rift turned out to be a wide valley, hundreds of feet in circumference.
There are all kinds of plants, grasses, trees, and flowers growing in the valley, which are colorful and very beautiful.
The best thing is that there is a small stream in the middle of the valley, which flows slowly and is crystal clear, and you can see small fish and shrimp swimming from time to time.
Under the leadership of the storm, a group of four people came to a stone wall facing the crack.
There are several caves on the stone walls, most of which are natural.
Stormy walked to a cave, grabbed the boulder blocking the door, and pulled it out violently.
The boulder is half the size of a house.
At this time, the hoofed beast showed signs of awakening.
Storm punched it again in the back of the head, sending it back into a coma.
Ray walked into the cave, and after a while, he took out a bag of animal skins, opened it, and it was a bag of jerky.
The jerky is dry and hard.
Bei, who was used to eating the food cooked by Fengyun, was frowning all the time during the meal.
If she wasn't very hungry, she wouldn't have eaten.
After eating some jerky and drinking some water, he went into the cave.
When he went out, he already had two large animal skin bags in his hands.
He gave Fengyun a bag and motioned for him to follow.
"Uncle Tyrant, what are we doing here?"
"Didn't I tell you just now, there are some medicinal herbs that witches need here, let's go pick them now. ”
"What kind of herbs are they?"
"There are two kinds of them, one is called the tongue and the other is called the fire. ”
"What a strange name. ”
Fengyun shook his head in confusion, he really couldn't guess what he was talking about.
Storm obviously understood his troubles, and said, "You don't have to bother guessing, you will understand when you see it." ”
It didn't take long for the storm to bring Fengyun to its destination.
"That's hemp tongue. ”
Storm pointed to a forest.
Fengyun gathered his eyes and looked over.
Among the verdant leaves, he saw clusters of tiny fruits.
They are larger than mung beans, smaller than soybean grains, and green in color, mixed with green leaves, and really not easy to find if you don't look closely.
I don't know why, he looked at those little green fruits, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose in his heart.
He seemed to have seen something similar somewhere.
"It's a blazing fire. ”
Storm pointed to a dwarf plant not far from the Ma Tongue Forest, and continued to introduce Fengyun.
The dense red dots are dotted in a patch of emerald green, which looks very beautiful.
Those red dots are the flames of the storm.
They are only the size of a thumb and their color is very conspicuous, like rubies.
The fire is not all red, but the red is ripe, and the unripe is cyan.
"You go and pluck the blazing fire, and I'll pluck the tongue. ”
Storm picked up his pocket and walked straight to the hemp tongue forest.
Fengyun walked to the front of the fire and began to pick.
In order to speed up the picking, he did not pick them one by one, but grabbed them with his hands.
It was difficult to control the force, and some of them were pinched by him.
Suddenly, a pungent smell rushed into his nose.
He froze, his eyes widening.
The smell was all too familiar to him.
Isn't that what chili peppers taste like?
He plucked one of the flames, broke it open, and licked it gently with his tongue.
A burning pain immediately exploded on the tip of his tongue.
It's chili.
Although the appearance of the chili pepper was a little different from his impression, it tasted almost exactly the same as the chili pepper.
For a moment, he felt the urge to cry.
It's not easy to finally find a substitute for chili peppers.
It's finally time to eat hot pot.
He is a big fan of hot pot, especially spicy hot pot.
In fact, he would think of burning pottery, and a large part of that was because he wanted to build a vessel that could burn a hot pot.
He would ask Bei to take him to find the seasoning, and a very important reason was also to find the ingredients for the hot pot base.
Alternatives to ginger have been found, as have substitutes for green onions and garlic.
The most important peppercorns and chili peppers could not be found, which used to make him very annoyed.
I didn't expect to find both together this time.
In order to determine whether the hemp tongue tasted the same as the peppercorns, Fengyun put down the bag and walked over to the storm.
Thinking that he was here to help him, he didn't say anything, and threw it on the ground while picking it up.
Fengyun quietly sent a grain into his mouth in the process of filling the hemp tongue into the bag.
With a light bite, the whole tongue went numb.
It's the best of peppercorns.
Fengyun secretly praised in his heart.
The most important peppers and peppercorns are there.
Fengyun couldn't help but think of the taste of spicy hot pot, the saliva in his mouth was secreted quickly, and he couldn't wait to grow wings, and immediately flew back to get the hot pot out, so as to comfort the greedy worms in his abdomen.
But he also knew that this matter was not in a hurry.
In order to make the most authentic spicy hot pot, Sichuan pepper and chili pepper need to be processed first.
The container suitable for shabu-shabu was also not fired.
Now that he goes back, he can't taste the classic taste he remembers.
Swallowing his saliva, Fengyun began to work in earnest.
It didn't take long for the bag to be filled with peppercorns.
In order to facilitate his memory, when he encounters seasonings similar to those in his memory, he will continue to use the title of his previous life.
With the help of Tyrant, soon the bag of chili peppers was also full.
"Uncle Tyrant, I also want to pick some hemp tongues and burn them back. ”
Fengyun saw that he was going back with the bag, and hurriedly made a request.
"What do you want them for?"
"I want to use them for food. ”
"Kid Yun, you're not kidding, are you? They taste so bad, are you sure they can be added to food?"
His eyes widened and he looked very surprised.
In order not to reveal his secrets, Fengyun decides to tell a lie.
"I'm not sure, but I'll know if I don't try. Uncle Tyrant, have you eaten the food I made, and the ingredients in it are different, and no one has added them before? ”
Perhaps remembering the wonderful taste of the food made by Fengyun, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"You're right, it's worth a try. But if you make something delicious, be sure to be the first to taste it. ”
"Uncle Tyrant, don't worry, I will never forget you. ”
"Good. You say. How much do you want, I'll pick it for you. ”
Fengyun thought for a while and said, "Let's pick a bag of the two, so as not to waste it." ”
"How can a bag be enough? ”
Without waiting for Fengyun to respond, Storm took the initiative to run to get the bag.
"There's no stopping the magic of food. ”
Fengyun looked at the back of the rushing and couldn't help but shake his head.
